Patent Application to be submitted
perhaps actually submit this and see if it goes through..
the actual patent to be (not the makeing of the patent)
Step 1 think of something trivial to patent
Step 2 get patent for trivial Idea
Step 3 ???
Step 4 Profit!
my first scanner was a scsi umax that i used with my performa 575 or starmax 4000. That scanner still works I think, its in storage with the starmax. When i got a g4 I was dissapointed to find out scsi wasn't included, and a scsi card cost about the same as a usb scanner. After a couple years of use the usb umax scanner had a section of it fail and would produce colored strips (mostly yellow) down a scan. Sold it on e-bay to someone who knows how to fix the problem or doesn't mind the stripes. Then i got a nother one worked fine, then after a few years it got the same problem. Now I have an HP all in 1 with a sheet feeder and memory card slots
Booting into target disk mode is not that easy in the school my younger brother is in. Every 7th and 8th grade student has an ibook every faculty member also has one.
Each student gets their own account with limited privledges. Each teacher has a standard account but no admin privledges.
The teachers password is randomly created and then they can change it to '1234' or whatever else they chose they have been instructed on proper password creation and memorization.
For a student to use a teacher account they have to have access to the teachers ibook, as theirs only has the student account and an admin account. The admin account has some random password that only a network admin knows.
The teachers cannot install applications to the application folder but they can install them to a location in their home folder.
The students have no install abilities. they also have no access to the terminal or any other utilities. Some applications are not installed. Most of the system prefrences are locked, includeing airport locked to the schools network with encription, and the school blocks lots of sites. I think ethernet is locked off. A few applications I was looking for wern't even installed. When putting a system install disk (10.3) in for password reset tools and whatever I was also blocked.
The school has stuck with 10.2.? for a wile even when 10.3 was free to educators. and I doubt an upgrade to 10.4 anytime soon which would be nice cause those old ibooks are slow, especially when trying to set up a presentation.
Also there was a version of OSX that had a password problem that would let you in when you entered either 256+ characters or 65536+ (i forget) so I did that but they had the update so it didn't work.
These laptops can boot os 9 so I tried a few utilites made for 9 to figur out the osx admin password (teachers have permission to change the startup disk students don't a teacher put it into 9 for me) none of those work, for the osx password or the open firmware password
Open firmware is set to not allow pressing c at startup for cd boot, shift apple option delete is not allowed (boot other than selected) option isn't allowed. pressing t for Target disk mode not allowed and apple s for signle user mode not allowed, pram resetting and i think open firmware resetting and probly a few other things arn't allowed
So my only solution to the problem was a tip i read on securemac.com Pull the ram out put a different size in and do a reset of some kind i forget the key combo but it might be 'apple option o f'(open firmware reset?) witch would then allow osx cd booting and then admin password resetting.
This was not an option however because it would be obvious that something had been done, and get me or someone in trouble. So I didn't do it, that and I didn't have any SODIMMs handy. I would be nice to have some extra ram in those iBooks.
Brute force pw cracking should work as you get three shakes then click the admin name again. But I don't plan on doing that. I don't see any hope for the kids at this school to get full use of the laptops.
I really think its important for these kids to be able to email and im not durring class time but recess or after school (these kids cant take them home though) one major thing is how are they going to be able to read ny times articles. But I guess it helps keep the number of trolls from posting down. Many of these kids may not have a computer at home. This school is in a low income area.
The school system is afraid of thretning emails sites and people that the kids may come in contact with, and the lawyers that follow.
They should have a class about proper web etiquette (thaks google suggest for the spelling, i don't spell check unless its built in or I think my own spelling doesn't look close to right) email, scams, personal information to strangers, social engineering, porn and how to hide it from your significant other, for when your older of course, not for hiding it from parents and teachers.
If they compleetly protect the kids, when they turn 18 they will access and do many of the things they've been blocked from and probably do it wrong because they haven't been taught any other way.
Going through my library I noticed a few duplicate songs I forgot to delete after converting (around the time apple relesed itunes with the ac3 conversion tool built in) from mp3 to ac3 (usually from mp3 256kbps to ac3 160kbps) and at somepoint i converted some ac3 to mp3 to transfer to an mp3 player that wont play ac3
I don't feel like analizing it compleetly but it looks like it has plays the ac3 version about 50% more often. This is based on looking at a few songs listed as bing imported 2 years ago in ac3 and the same song a year ago in mp3. the ac3s were played anywhere from 40-60 times the mp3 was played 10-20 times this was with various 3 4 and 5 star songs both the ac3 and mp3 version of a song had the same star rating.
I usually listen to party shuffle with higher rated songs played more often, sometimes i'll play the library shuffled. sometimes i'll play from the library from highest rated to lowest rated. and sometimes the library from longest to shortest (some of those 2hr dj sets)
current library size is about 8500 songs 32days 42gb
Could be that the predators of complex pray don't settle for a part that comes off durring the attack, they want the whole thing. Other then getting attacked by its predator most pray don't lose or severly damage their parts often so the trait didn't get a chance.
Flying cars have been around for quite a while now. It seems as if there may be a conspiracy to keep the less intelignt people from findingout about these flying cars. Some smart people probly got together and wanted to keep the skys clear of idiots. The manufacturers may have been in on it. The manufacturers probly had a part in this and to prevent the common dumbies from getting a flying car they don't advertize to them, like durring the super bowl, or jerrysrpinger, or almost anywhere on tv, I think i may have seen a commercial on the discovery channel.
Most people know about these flying cars, however they don't think of them as a flying car but as a plane. you'll need atleast 40hrs of instruction, and rent or own a plane.
these flying cars have been around for about 100 years. The most commonly known would be a Cessna 152 comparable to a geo metro. a few steps up would be the 210 somewhat like a suburban. or a piper malibu or BeechCraft (raytheon) Bonanza more like a high performance SUV
or if you have lots on money you could get a Citation X probly coperable to the stretch ferarri limo.

I still want a re-release of the Newton.
